Jeff won me a game.

Opponent played Prof X on the middle lane. I moved Jeff there, plus Klaw on the left.

Got the yelling emote from my opponent afterwords.

Having had Klaw in my deck forever and adding Jeff when he came out, I've done this multiple times.

I've had good success with Miles Morales to take advantage of his movement too.

or just playing cards there

You can only play 4 cards maximum so if they drop her on turn 1 she's a 1/3 MINIMUM, plus she essentially did an Aero effect for 4 of your turns.

imo make her effect Ongoing, then I'll gladly play Rogue on her every game.

Subspace Emissary already did it

A show that got "ruined" by the writer's strike went on to become the peak of modern TV

The best late night TV content was during the writer's strike

It seems to be in everyone's best interest to strike regularly

Sometimes people just make a sub-par game.

Not Arkane, it's their whole brand

This is just one of those games that should have been canceled 1-2 years ago and probably under normal circumstances would have. But Microsoft really needs exclusives and big games on gamepass and probably hoped this could have been one.

Definitely seems like it. Since it's Game Pass which they admitted does not make money, they just didn't prioritize this game at all.

Agreed. Is this big AI controversy fundamentally different from ones in the past though?

Only in the sense that it's possibly a new form of intelligence, which is not something people care about that much. The moral and economic issues are much bigger focuses, and those are completely standard tech issues.

The question of ethics is never precise enough. Which ethics exactly?

We have plenty of software now that crawls through large amount of other people's data to help you out, like Google and autocomplete. You can also be an artist and directly take from other styles. We largely agree that this is not a big deal, as long as you cite your sources. The new AIs are terrible at that (Bing is trying to get there but it's still bad). This is plagiarism ethics.

Then there's the socioeconomic ethics. Jobs will change, some will lose, some will benefit, how does that affect them, how does that ripple across the entire economy, etc.

The real issue though is, imagine if aliens came from space and gave us a magical box that did the same thing as Midjourney, and the aliens also gave all previous artists $5 mil so they never had to work again. Can people now use the magical box and call themselves artists without an ethical issue? I think people would still feel like something was stolen there, since people feel that the struggle of practicing and creating art is synonymous with humanity itself. The mere existence of this box is a threat to humanity. This is artistry ethics and everything eventually comes down to this.

Problem is that we've been reducing the struggle of art using tech forever. At every step the "defend humanity" sentiment has come out. Photoshop has had AI functions for years, tools that are trained on others' art, and other kinds of automatic algorithms. That's its entire value. But our generation is quite accustomed to those tools since we still perceive that it requires lots of artistry to make something good. That was obviously not always the case, there were big controversies in the past too

Woah this looks way more ZOE than I thought. All I remember from AC on PS2 was a bunch of brown hallways, you try to shoot some things from far away, then you die.
